ProHealth 65+ is focused on health promotion and prevention of health risks among seniors. The project seeks to determine effective methods of promoting a healthy lifestyle among older population groups by bringing together knowledge and experience of main partners and health promoters from Poland, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands and exchange it with collaborating partners: Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Hungary. The effective implementation of training for health promoters working with this age group is the ultimate project goal.

The project is coordinated by the Jagiellonian University in Cracow which cooperates in this process with the Maastricht University. Two other associated partners are Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore from Rome and Universität Bremen. As many as 32 persons are involved with different disciplinary backgrounds including epidemiology, medical sociology, health economics, politology, law, social communications. The project is led by Stanisława Golinowska (leader) and Andrzej Kropiwnicki (manager) as well as heads of work packages: Milena Pavlova, Beata Tobiasz – Adamczyk, Mariusz Duplaga, Walter Ricciardi, Wim Groot, Heinz Rothgang, Cezary W. Włodarczyk, Stojgniew Sitko.
